India - Employment, Unemployment and Migration Survey: NSS 64th Round, Schedule 10, July 2007 - June 2008

This item is for recording the information on movement of the sample household. If the entire household, as now being enumerated has moved to the place of enumeration during the last 365 days preceding the date of survey, the same will be considered for recording 'yes' against this item. If one member of the household has moved ahead of other members to the present household and others have joined later (but all of them during the reference year) such cases will also be considered for recording 'yes'. Where, some members of the household were born or married into households which have moved, during the last 365 days, the entire household is to be treated as moved to the place of enumeration. When more than one household migrate to the village/town of enumeration and merge into a single household, the merged household will be treated as a migrant household. For such migrant household, the information for items 9, 10 and 11 of block 3 will correspond to the household (as it existed before migration) to which the head of the merged household belonged. Within a village or town, shifting of house from one locality to another should not be considered as migration of the household. The entry will be recorded in codes, i.e., 1 for 'yes' and 2 for 'no'.
